People want to read, see and experience Jesus ALIVE in us. Your living experiences with Christ is what draws others to truth. Everyone in today's time is a "Christian", the only way they will know the difference between the fake and the real deal is when they see Jesus moving in your life instead of…

My husband and I love this beautiful truth. As much as we take opportunity to open our hearts for the Lord to guide us with the people in or coming in our lives daily, we often find ourselves led to share it with each other along the way too, our marriage has never been more beautiful implementing this action into our foundation. ❤

This is a perfect example put into one photo of what God intended for a Godly wife to be. "the helper" (Genesis 2:18 The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”)

A Godly wife that supports her husband's cross. Loving him sincerely and unconditionally, encouraging him in His walk with God's perfect will, submitting without any form of resistance to fulfil his ministry. A wife on her knees for her husband in the best of times and… Continue

I believe many of us can do with this word today, a lot of us are struggling with circumstances, with fears, loss of hope, distress and lack of faith. If you’re facing the above this message is for you.

Did you know that the Bible says that without faith it is impossible to please God? Hebrews 11:6 look it up… did you know that the Bible also says that whatever is not of faith is sin? Look it up, Romans 14:23, the scary part of the above is that we look at the word and think…

Dear brothers and sisters, Today, I would like to speak to you about self.

Many of you hear about this topic more often than you should and the message you hear on this topic is along the lines of “10 ways to become a better you” “what is your purpose here on earth” “what is amazing about you” “why you are so unique” “life is about bettering yourself” “5 steps…

Brothers and sisters, in the last week obedience has been a very strong word in my heart. I have been studying the word to learn more of the obedience in our relationship with God, friends what I came across shook me!!

Obedience is so important, a message that we have missed for some time now, everyone is raving about salvation, grace, love and mercy but no one is focusing on obedience!!! Did you know that obedience is dominated in both the new and the Old Testament? Some of…

I wrote this post 4 years ago and 4 years later I am in the very same position again. We never stop facing trails, do not be discouraged when you step into the same place you overcame years ago.

There is a reason for you to go through this again, maybe you forgot what you had learnt from the first lesson, maybe you need to be reminded of what God taught you through your first experience, maybe there is someone watching you in secret and you're ministering to then, maybe God wants to…

A year ago I stopped drinking, I'm not a pastor, no one told me to and I definitely didn't do it as the next "religious" step.

I don't have 50 reasons why I stopped drinking (however he did quite well with all 50, amazing!!!) Many people questioned my lifestyle changes, I guess radical changes for Christ will leave the world in shock, confused or simply convicted and therefore they have to find the perfect excuse to make you look like the radical Jesus freak. I… Continue

Today, I realise just once again how empty this world is. People giving their word can let you down, friends and family can stab you in the back when you least expect it, earthly materials can only make you happy for so long, earthly love is only enough for so long, everything around you is temporary. God well, God is EVERLASTING, ETERNAL, FOR EVER, ALWAYS!!!! He takes us through seasons to wake us up but many will see it as a curse and question God, there are few that will see the blessing…

Dear brothers and sisters, today I would like to share with you my experience with just how quickly you could lose the opportunity to bring home a brother or sister, to bless a brother or sister or simply take the honour in doing the work of the Lord.

My fiance needed a new pair of shoes for work as he started a new position on a wine estate, the shoes he was using was not suitable for that kind of environment. We then got him a new pair that would be durable for the long term and… Continue

What if I told you it was possible? What if I told you it was worthreading This message? What if I told you there was a bigger plan behind the painyou're enduring, the suffering, the changes, patience and the confusion? What if i told you, youhave nothing to lose?

In our daily lives, we envy, we wish for other people's life styles, we wish to be at a more successful place, we look at our friends, people around us wishing to be in their positions, wishing to have their image, their popularity, their career, their attention, their wealth and many more things.

I, personally sometimes look at my life and the friends I attended school with, I look at where they are now and the routes I have taken in life and where it has brought…

"Servant of the King, Lover of God, Passionate messenger of the Gospel of Jesus Christ ... missionary of the Spirit of God!"

In April of 2011 Gerhard had an encounter with God that would alter the course of His life forever. He physically died as a result of thrombosis in his right leg. As he began feeling how he was slipping…

WHAT IF…

Now there is a thought that we can all say arises more often than we would like. What if I had listened, what if I had taken the chance, what if I had gone, what if I had said something, what if, what if, what if…. Frustrating isn’t it?

Today I would like to share my story with you, the sad thing about this story is that this…

Dear brothers and sisters today we are all debating, assuming, making way to leave the country, scared for our loved ones and looking at everything that is not positive when the word came about the secrecy bill voted to be law once more. I don’t blame you the world we live in is just getting worse and more shocking as we go, today it may be South Africa but tomorrow it will be another country… why are we…
